Hi @Schulte and thanks for your detailed reply, however l have to admit that to see those changes to the icon even on my 17.3” laptop taskbar takes more than a passing glance. The previous animated icon was so much more obvious to the eye, and took little if no effort to notice. It was also possible to turn the animation off/on at any time in the Settings, so that indicates to me that there are users who do not ir have not bothered to tailor the many options since installing Kaspersky ! In my humble opinion, anyone objecting to the animated icon shows that they’re not curious enough to hover their mouse over it just the ONCE to have the pop up info bubble appear with the reason for it ‘pulsating’ , but they would instead waste far more valuable time complaining about it instead ! l would welcome the option to have the choice of animation being available.

I have KIS 2021 on my new laptop running Win10, and the icon is not animated. To see if KIS is ‘working’..as in scanning or whatever, i have to hover my mouse over the icon. This I find totally unaccpetbale after many years of having KIS with an animated icon to let me know when it is doing ANY scann or database update. I have searched and found nothing in Settings to turn on or off icon animation…. PLEASE tell me that there is a way to activate animation, otherwise there is a100% probability that I will at some time or other in the course of time shutdown the laptop whilst it is doing a database or a scan or some sort. I’d rather wait till any of those are finished to ensure that nothing is corrupted before shutting the laptop down.
